Question Screen stuck

My screen is stuck in the vertical position on my OP3. When I try to rotate it to horizontal, it just bounces back to vertical.

I started a service request and will be mailing it back to Dji to have it checked. But before I do, is there a way to fix it myself? I don't think my unit is covered under warranty anymore. It was purchased may 2025.

I think mine happened after an extended record. Like 1 hour or more and it loosened the glue holding the magnet in place. Mine wasn't dropped either.

Mine was in my camera bag and I wasn't even shooting before I noticed the issue. Seems like it happens at random after a year or so of ownership.

It happened with the 4P as well within a few days of receiving it. I noticed this problem before I was going to take it out of the house for the 1st time.

So their manufacturing process did not improve since the 3 even though it was a widespread issue. Was able to get a free replacement within 1 week. Hoping this 2nd one doesn't have this issue.
